A New Dawn!!!!!!!

Hello Everyone,
I'm back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so sorry I haven't been regular with my posts, I've been MIA. I promise to turn a new leaf henceforth. I've had to sit back these past few weeks to reflect on what I really want my blog to be known for(what I really want to be known for)

As much as a part of me wants my blog to be popular for posting gists only, another part of me wants to be known as a motivational blogger ( a pro, if you know what i mean). I want to educate people, motivate Nigeria, and impact lives through my blog.

Based on these thoughts, I have made the following decisions:

An Olympic Lesson in Motivation

The saying goes: The expert in anything was once a beginner in everything. Truer words were never spoken.

But this isn't what we see. This isn't what we feel when we watch these Olympians. It isn't what we think when we watch any expert or great success.

We see the finished product, shining brightly in designer packaging. We see triumph and achievement, not training. We see the riches, not the rags.

And this, as much as anything else, is why motivation - that inner drive that carries us toward all we desire - continues to escape us.

Today that comes to an end. Today I will open your eyes to a new way of viewing the changes you wish to carry out and the challenges that are attempting to stop you.

The Olympians we admire might possess unique physical talent and natural gifts, but that inner fire that compels them forward is within us all. It's time to set it free.

Be Positively Responsible

Even when you’re in a negative place, the next step you take can be in a positive direction. Even when you’re feeling down, with your thoughts and actions you can lift yourself up.

Disappointment and frustration are facts of life that you’ll often encounter. But that doesn’t mean you have to perpetuate them.

When you stumble and fall, it hurts. Yet no matter how much the setback has hurt you, your best choice is always to quickly get back up and get going again.

Instead of fighting back with more of your own negativity, advance forward with your own meaningful, positive intentions.

 

 

When life has been tough and painful, grab the opportunity to make it richer and more fulfilling.

Feeling resentful and sorry for yourself will just end up giving you even more reasons to feel sorry and resentful. Choose instead to feel positively and enthusiastically responsible for pushing yourself beyond the difficulties.

Every moment is an opportunity for growth and advancement, no matter what has happened in the moments before. Seize each opportunity, and quickly leave life’s disappointments behind.

Our thoughts shape Our Actions

This is the day your dream comes to life. Because this is the day when you can take a positive, intentional step toward it. Today, you have the power to think and act and live as you choose. Choose to focus your thoughts on the positive possibilities and to live with real meaning and fulfillment. It is only a convenient illusion that life seems to happen to you. In fact, the life that matters is the life that happens from you and through you. Live this day from the perspective of authentic purpose, and nothing can keep you down. Use the grand opportunity of this moment to more fully be the beautiful, unique person you truly are. You are alive and aware and filled with a vision of how life can be when it is at its best. Feel the rightness of your purpose and live it with everything you have. Today, life’s abundance and limitless possibilities stretch out in every direction. Today, you can make it all into something magnificent and uniquely you.

REASON IS NOT EVERYTHING

Make good and effective use of reason, but don't let it be the only thing that informs you. Some of the most beautiful and valuable aspects of life have little basis in reason.
Love does not adhere to reason, and yet it is real.People regularly act on faith, wholly apart from reason, and create value in doing so. You know much more than you can prove. Let your amazing ability to reason move you forward, but don't let it put limits on how far you can go.
Pay attention to the reasons,and pay attention also to how you feel. You are more than a set of logically determined options. Even when every reason argues against it, HOPE is never lost. For the power of hope, power of authentic desires and power of dreams cannot be limited by reason.
There is a reason for everything and yet reason is not everything. Go joyfully forward, now and always, whether there is a reason to or not.

IT'S IN EVERYONE

"I can't do that, I'm not that good", "I can't achieve anything, I'm not that persistent", "I can't pass the exam, I'm not that intelligent", "I can't win the competition, I'm not that beautiful", I can't, I can't, I can't... the list is endless.
Most times, we don't believe in the power invested in us, we don't believe in our abilities/ capabilities, we end up saying "Who am I to be this beautiful, intelligent, etc?" Actually, who are you not to be? You are a unique being created by the ALMIGHTY. You are fearfully and wonderfully made, you are different from the next person. God has created you with many unique features among which are: YOUR BRAIN, YOUR MIND. In fact you are so unique that you don't share the same finger print with any other person. You need to appreciate and understand and your uniqueness and utilize your abilities effectively. You are a flexible being, embrace change, Do the impossible, Fear nothing, Leave your comfort zone, have a CANDO attitude, and above all BELIEVE IN YOURSELF and NEVER DOUBT YOUR CAPABILITIES. I leave you with this poem...
                                           OUR DEEPEST FEAR 
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us.
We ask our selves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually.who are you not to be? You are a child of GOD.
Your playing small, does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine. as children do. We were meant to make manifest, the glory of GOD within us.
It's not just in some of us, It's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

it begins with the mind

No matter how far you've fallen behind, you can choose at any point to start moving forward. Even though nothing else may be going your way, you can decide to get your thoughts and actions going your way. do not let your thoughts control or rule over you, instead you should be able to have control over your thoughts and direct your mind towards positive thinking. Success is a function of your direction and persistence, not your starting point. Success is also a function of your mindset. The mindset is a mental attitude developed over time as a result of one's education, life experience and the people you communicate with regularly. If you have a positive mindset, irrespective of the situation you are in, you'll always find a way out. Someone with a positive mindset is optimistic, a problem solver.A person with a positive mindset sees the cup as half FULL not half EMPTY. He doesnt blame anyone for his failures. He develops INSPIRATIONAL DISSATISFACTION and sees  opportunities in every problem. When you have a positive mindset you believe in yourself and your capabilities, you develop SELF CONFIDENCE and with that everything is possible. With a positive mindset and the will and determination to succeed, the sky is just the starting point.
